Apparently Apple cut the iPhone SE line of phones this week. They were great phones that gave you advanced features for a reasonable price. But the biggest loss here is they were the final iPhones with the Home button and TouchID, which are vastly superior to swipes and FaceID.

While one could argue that it's obvious...it should be frequently pointed out...that much of what the Trump administration is doing is ILLEGAL. They are blatantly BREAKING THE LAW. There is nothing about it that should be surprising; but,we must keep driving that fact home.

Reupping this today now that Kennedy has been confirmed to dismantle the country's health agencies. PLEASE be sure to download this, post it everywhere. The new schedule, or lack thereof, will cost lives. So it is crucial we educate all parents.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

I think the Chiefs losing the Super Bowl is the best thing to happen in 2025 so far.

SPEED RACER, now more than ever. A film by trans women. A corporate villain who manipulates the markets, who cheats, lies, and intimidates, and who uses the system to stay ahead. A family who supports and loves each other, and who learns from their mistakes. The hero wins because of that love.

I think it’s incredibly stupid they’re making a live action How To Train Your Dragon, especially since the movies aren’t old, and it looks like they’re doing 1:1 recreations of shots. What’s the fucking point?

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

There’s nothing quite like answering the question of “could we have a meeting about this” with “I don’t know, did you do all the stuff you were supposed to after the LAST meeting you requested?”

DEI public favorability continues to be +19. Pundits are wrong that: 1) DEI is unpopular. It's popular. 2) This recent support is thermostatic. This is NOT thermostatic. DEI favorability has been high throughout its existence (second pic).

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I’m watching Superman: The Animated Series, and every time an episode begins I can’t help but think of how much of a downgrade its opening is from Batman: TAS. The music’s fine-ish, but a clip show? Granted, Batman’s is an all-timer, but it’s like they weren’t even trying with Superman’s.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋
